Lucas Anders interviews Lindsey McIntyre (writer/dir) about the short film NIGIQTUQ ᓂᒋᖅᑐᖅ. It screened as part of FAVA Fest.
Having left Nunavut with her mother Kumaa’naaq (koo-MAT-na) in 1938, young Marguerite must negotiate the unspoken pressures of being Inuk in her new life in the South. When an extraordinary letter arrives from home, Marguerite discovers what’s really expected of her. NIGIQTUQ ᓂᒋᖅᑐᖅ is based on a true story told to Lindsay by her grandmother. It connects to a larger story that is touched upon in several of Lindsay’s other films, including her upcoming feature, "The Words We Can’t Speak", currently in advanced development.
